Zacarías 3
1 Entonces el Señor me mostró a Josué, el sumo sacerdote, en pie delante del ángel del Señor, y Satanás estaba en pie a su mano derecha, acusándolo.
Then [Yahweh] showed me Joshua, the Supreme Priest, [who was] standing in front of the angel that Yahweh had sent. And Satan was standing at Joshua’s right side, [ready] to accuse him.
2 Y el Señor le dijo a Satanás: “El Señor te reprende, Satanás. Yo, el Señor que he escogido a Jerusalén, te reprendo. ¿Acaso no es como un carbón arrebatado de la fogata?”
But Yahweh said to Satan, “Satan, I am rebuking you! I [am the one] who has chosen Jerusalem [to be my special city, and I] am rebuking you! This [man, Joshua], [has been brought back from Babylonia]; he is surely [like] [MET, RHQ] a burning stick that has been snatched from a fire.”
3 Josué estaba usando ropas sucias mientras estaba en pie delante del ángel.
Joshua was wearing filthy clothes while he was standing in front of the angel.
4 Y el ángel le dijo a aquellos que estaban allí: “Quiten su ropa sucia”. Y entonces le dijo a Josué: “Mira como he quitado tus pecados, y ahora te vestiré con ropas finas”.
The angel said to those [other angels] who were standing in front of him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” [After they did that, ] the angel said to Joshua, “Look! I have taken away [the guilt of] your sins, and I will put beautiful clothes on you.”
5 Entonces yo dije: “Pongan un turbante limpio sobre su cabeza”. Y pusieron un turbante limpio en su cabeza, y ropas, mientras el ángel del Señor permanecía en pie allí.
Then I said to them, “Put a clean turban on his head!” So they put a clean turban on his head and put [new] on him, while the angel sent by Yahweh was standing there.
6 Entonces el ángel del Señor le habló solemnemente a Josué, aconsejándole:
Then the angel said [this] to Joshua:
7 “Esto es lo que el Señor Todopoderoso dice: Si sigues mis caminos y observas mis mandamientos, tú gobernarás mi Templo y sus atrios. Yo te dejaré caminar en medio de los que están aquí en pie.
“The Commander of the armies of angels says that if you do what I want you to do [IDM], and obey my instructions, you will (be in charge of/have authority over) [what is done in] my temple and its courtyard. And I will allow you to speak at any time to the angels who are standing near to me.
8 ¡Presta atención, sumo sacerdote Josué, y todos los sacerdotes a quienes enseñas! Eres una señal de las cosas buenas que vendrán. ¡Miren! Yo traeré a mi siervo, la rama.
Joshua, [you are] the Supreme Priest, and your (associates/fellow priests) are sitting in front of you. They symbolize/represent things that will happen in the future. [Some day] I am going to bring someone who will work for me, someone who will be called the Branch.
9 Nota que he puesto una piedra preciosa delante de Josué, una sola piedra con siete ángulos. Miren que yo mismo tallaré siete ojos en ella, declara el Señor Todopoderoso, y borraré los pecados de esta tierra en un solo día.
Look at the stone that I have put in front of Joshua. There are seven sides on the stone. I will engrave a message on that stone, and in one day I will remove the guilt of [all the people of] this country.
10 Ese día, todos invitarán a sus amigos a sentarse en paz bajo sus vides e higueras, dice el Señor Todopoderoso”.
At that time, each of you will invite his friends [to come and sit] under his grapevine and under his fig tree. [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels declares.”
